New York Muslims Blame Donald Trump for Imam Shooting

Queens, New York– An imam and his associate were killed Saturday in Queens, NY, shortly after leaving the mosque where they were saying their afternoon prayers. The victims were identified by the NYPD as Imam Maulama Akonjee, 55 and Thara Uddin, 65. Both men were shot at close range in the head, just a block away from the mosque shortly before 2pm. The Imam was pronounced dead at the scene, while Uddin died four hours later at Jamaica Hospital.

The shooter, according to Deputy Inspector Henry Sautner from the 106th precinct, remains at large. According to Sautner, the shooter is a “male with medium complexion dressed in a dark polo shirt and shorts.” The authorities added that the motive has not been determined, but community members, predominantly Muslims, are calling the crime a hate crime. Most blame the shooting on GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump and former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

“That’s not what America is about,” Khairul Islam, 33, a local resident told the Daily News. “We blame Donald Trump for this. Trump and his drama has created Islamophobia.”

Another Imam, whose name is unknown at the moment, also blamed the real estate mogul and former NYC mayor for the shooting. “For those in leadership like Trump and Mr. Giuliani, and other members of other institutions that project Islam and Muslims as the enemy, this is the end result of their wickedness,” the Imam said at a gathering of Muslims protesting the shooting.

Other Muslim gatherings were chanting “This is Donald Trump’s fault,” and “Muslim hate crime.”

I guess the muzzies figured it was way to late to blame George Bush, so they jumped on Trump. Oh LORD deliver us from those knuckleheads. It is always someone else’s fault. Wouldn’t it be something if it would be a fellow muslim....boy would this story die in a hurry.

We’ve got enough Muslims in the US to start a little sectarian war.

Under the Washington Post article on this. I love this comment:

“Let’s see if I have this right. Trump says ban all Muslims from terrorist countries. This makes a Muslim from one of those terrorist countries mad, so he goes out and murders other Muslims from those terrorist countries, so therefore it’ Trump’s fault? Do I have that right?”

New York Muslims should be rounded up and deported back to their sandbox.

What is their concept of reaction to Jihad???>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Exactly. The whining bitches can hand it out but when two of the umma are victims, they can’t handle it.

I say we toss the whole lot and plough every mosque in America under. Let them observe their religion at home.
